For this purpose, the amendment of the Energy Law introduces an exemption from the tariff obligation, ensures that no double network charges are imposed on storage facilities, implements a partial exemption from fees for connecting the storage facility to the grid and an exemption from the obligations to present certificates of origin and to pay certain fees with regards to stored electricity. It also ensures a tariff framework for storage that is non-discriminatory and cost-reflective. With these measures, the amended law removes regulatory barriers to the development of electricity storage in Poland. The reform entered into force in 2021. More information can be found on the webpage of the Ministry Climate and Environment here Support sustainable water and wastewater management in rural areas (reference B3.1 in the Polish Recovery and Resilience Plan) The aim of the reform is to help resolve the problem of irregular sewage disposal in rural areas. For this purpose, the Water Law and certain other acts were amended, imposing new monitoring obligations on municipal authorities and equipping them with new powers and tools to control sewage disposal and enforce adherence to rules. This includes the ability to organize paid sewage disposal from properties whose owners fail to meet their obligations in this regard. The reform entered into force in 2022.

Its aim is to reduce energy consumption and reduce sources of air pollution. The reform consists in introducing a more sophisticated and streamlined subsidy design to better address the needs of beneficiaries from different income groups and broaden participation of homeowners with lower incomes in the programme. This part of the reform was implemented by 2022.
